Great shots Steve! Woot! Looks like there is a missing belayer down there:-) Bet if I'd lose some weight, people would be less sensitive to belaying right underneath me. LOL Is this the 10a finish off Right Gull? Way to heat the beat Plaid! Wheres Ivan with his 500 pics?

Well, there was another thread on how Rick Peery would NEVER be elected the next President out there somewhere on CC.com land. I didn't find it so I'm starting fresh. I'm thinking if a Jewish left wing Democrat wingnut (loveable wing nut though) like Kinky Friedman can go all in for Rick Peery, we might all be wrong on the man's electability. I'm still left shaking my head over it all, there's people that can be bought but Friedman ain't one of them. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/08/24/kinky-friedman-rick-perry-s-got-my-vote.html "Kinky for Perry Aug 24, 2011 7:45 PM EDT Kinky Friedman once ran against Rick Perry for the Texas governorship. So would the singer and writer vote for him for president? Hell, yes! The world’s most famous Jewish cowboy on why he wants to live in Rick Perry’s America." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinky_Friedman Peter posted a thread on Gov Christie titled "your next President"......nah. I couldn't go there with this post. Now don't be hatin' on the messenger:-), I see it so I shared it.

Sweet, I'll take a beat to crap water bottle and gift it right back to Plaidman. ps, that cowboy needs a hat to cover them bald spotz! Woot!

No, but we were wondering the same thing Saturday. We discussed it and just came to the conclusion that ours was a first ascent. Who else would do a 20 min hike with some easy 5th class to a hunk of rock you can easily see from the main road? So we named it. Wolfords Wall. Buddy has a perfect name for the biggest route once it gets bagged: Timetraveler Buttress. LOL Now we need a summit register to validate the name:-) LOL

Plaidman. Beacon. Right Gull? ? What do I win!

I agree Mark but 1 have (at least) 2 huge issues. 1st) The last time Washington did this kind of fee, (which is now back) they said most of the money went to enforcement, new administrative hires and other bullcrap like signage, people running around collecting, etc etc. They actually made very little (I believe that in the press release the Governor said they made nothing), which is why the Governor got rid of it last time. It wasn't achieving it's objectives as less people were using the parks. If you want to fund the parks, fine, but this tax didn't work well last time. Do something that works and funds the parks not a new group of tax collectors with all the attendant hires for people to sit on their asses and do nothing but bother other people. 2nd) It's regressive. I pay the same as a broke widow and 4 kids or an unemployed guy. I make a shitload more. One more way to F** the poor. That's wrong too. There are already tax collecting systems in place Mark, where increasing the tax here or there on this one or that one will not increase enforcement costs. Initiating a brand new tax requires additional manpower and inflates the bureaucracy even more - it's wasteful, at a time we don't need more waste or more unnecessary goverment. That Lucky Larry has to pay the same as me, despite the fact that Larry has no job or income and is scraping by, only serves to piss me off more. If they were to start to evaluate giving folks like Larry a free pass then costs to administer it would rise even more. It's not the $30, you are right about that. It's bullshit. I use my local parks for instance, and the funding comes out of my house payment taxes. If they need more $ for capitol improvements, the will give us the chance to vote on it. Even if I vote no and am overruled by a simple majority, at least I know that: A) Most people wanted it, and B) all they have to do is tweek our existing tax bills they are already sending to me and 100% of the money raised will go towards the intended objective. If they were to start a brand new tax, with all kinds of infrastructure and hires to administer it, I'd oppose it all the way for being wasteful. Which is what we have here. That there is starting to be multiple layers of goverment agencies (federal state and local) dipping into doing this very thing only makes it more painful to see.

Ditto on the awesome and thanks for both the great photos and for sharing the experience!

I thought this was going to another post about democrats. hmmm...maybe it will be after all. Wasn't katrina Bushes fault? I hear that the stores are pretty much swept clean on parts of the east coast, even quite far inland. Maybe people will be better prepared. Hope this works out for folks back there and isn't as bad as the press is playing it up.

Side note to all: please do not leave any rap ropes that you drug through poison oak on the wall expecting to come back later with a plastic bag and rubber gloves so you don't wind up hospitalized again. Your rope will be taken down before you get back the next day, yes, stolen by some fuckhead. A climber no less.

LOL! They never do anyway, thinking of Drews close encounters with Tub Girl for instance. So are you thinking more sense or less sense Feck?

Thought this was going to be about CC.com sprayer Mike Layton. Glad it's not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Layton

How about dutch treat, we all pay for ourselves, and you leave a donation jar, like a tip jar at Starbucks or the collection plate in church? Just a thought.

Hi Cory, we met already at the garbage cleanup the day Gary Rall and some buff Portland Rock Gym dudes cleaned out The Schwingus, I'm Bill. I will CU Sept 17th at 7pm...Hopefully we will be be drinking? Should I bring money? Six pack? Thanks!

Do you have a name or shall we just call you RBCC?

Someone mentioned to me that climbers needed to start lobbying ODOT and city hall as a preventative measure. I see why now. Hopefully you lectured and educated her? Didn't know about any memorials...maybe the first one up there needs to move the one back from the edge, like take a picture and then move it stat. Rocky Butte Crew, thanks for stepping up. Sorry I was so self centered and worthless on the clean up. I showed up once and got sidetracked to the climbing after an hour and a half of picking up garbage.

OHHH NOESZ!!!!!

LOL....oh man....that's so rude and funny at the same time....

$25 US dollars or Canadian funny money? How many did ya nosh?
